The property is beautiful (Colehayes Park), it is also a huge B&B, and can be hired for weddings, parties and self-catering holidays! Lovely area too....

It seems the poor girl only has one parent ("her parent's 20-acre Georgian mansion")and her father's name has been mysteriously changed from Bill to Reg!
